How well your cruise control will work on hills depends
upon your speed, load and the steepness
of the hills.
When going up steep hills,
you may want to step on the
accelerator pedal to maintain your speed. When going
downhill,
you may have to brake or shift to a lower gear
to keep your speed down. Of course, applying the brake
takes you out of cruise control. Many drivers find
this to
be too much trouble and don’t use cruise control on
steep hills.
Ending Cruise Control
There are two ways to turn off the cruise control:
Step lightly on the brake pedal or push the clutch
pedal, if
you have a manual transmission.
Move the cruise switch to OFF.
Erasing Speed Memory
When you turn off the cruise control or the ignition,
your cruise control set speed memory is erased.
Lamps
The switches are on the driver’s side of your
instrument panel.

Daytime Running Lamps (If So Equipped)
Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) can make it easier for
others to see the front

DRL can be helpful in many different driving
conditions, but they can be especially helpful in the short periods after dawn and before sunset.
The DRL system will make your headlamps come
on at
reduced brightness when:
0 the ignition is on,
the headlamp switch is off, and
the parking brake is released.

to get dark, your DRL indicator light
is
a reminder to turn your headlamp switch on. The
other lamps that come on with your headlamps will
also come
on.

lamps will
go off, and your headlamps will change to
the reduced brightness
of DRL.
To idle your vehicle with the DRL off, set the parking
brake. The DRL will stay off until you release the
parking brake.
As with any vehicle, you should turn on the regular
headlamp system when
you need it.

headlamps come on. When the high-beam headlamps go
